Whatever we create in the thought world will some day materialize. That is the law. Don’t forget this.

If you want to accomplish anything first, put yourself in a concentrating, reposeful, receptive, acquiring frame of mind.

YOU’RE SO SENSITIVE

Those were the words I grew up hating, the words I dreaded, the words that always came as a jab, as if there was something wrong with me and my heart. But now, they are the words I wear proudly, the words that I celebrate, the words I own as my identity. I will not apologize for being so sensitive.

God Bless Us..

YOU’D BETTER BE RUNNING

Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning a lion wakes up. It knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve to death. It doesn’t matter whether you are a lion or a gazelle. When the sun comes up, you better start running.

-African Proverb (Gazelle or Impala)

YOU WERE MY HOME

You’ve made me realize that life isn’t only about finding purpose, or looking back for your better half, or being successful, but also searching for friendships that will last for a lifetime.

You are the solid foundation that I hold into during the moments that I lose someone I love. You are the safe haven I run into when I can’t trust anyone. You have become an integral part of my heart that nobody can replace. I’m grateful for every single second that we’ve shared with each other. I have no idea about what the future holds, but there’s one thing that will not change: you will not be forgotten. So, thank you, really, for all the times that you were my home.

God Bless Us..

YOU TWO AREN’T MEANT FOR EACH OTHER

The woman at the jeepney paid at the driver but the driver returned her fare. Since she can’t see nor hear vividly, I relayed what the driver said. “Kilala ya ka kuno La, amo na libre pliti mo,” (Lola, kilala ka daw po ng driver kaya libre na po pamasahe mo) I told her.

Sino ka man? (Sino ka?) she asked. But the driver kept quiet all the time. The woman then enumerated random names, hoping she would pin the tail on the donkey and find out who the driver is, while me and the other passengers keep quiet. The driver didn’t say anything until the woman told the driver to stop at Gaisano La Paz. Hopeless to find out who the driver was, she just said, “Salamat gid kung sino ka man” (Maraming salamat kung sino ka man.)

Nobody dared to go break down their curiosity, and still we all kept quiet; until the driver said: (Non-Verbatim) “Baw wala ya gid ko nadumduman ba. Ginhulat ko na siya sobra 30 ka tuig pero iba gin pakaslan ya. Siling ko sa kaugalingon ko sang una, kung sabton ya ako, sagudon ko gid siya kag bisan piso waay gid siya may problemahun sa gasto. Asta subong gin tuman ko promise ko.”

(“Ay hindi niya talaga ako natandaan. Hinintay ko siya ng 30 taon pero iba ang pinakasalan niya. Dati sinabi ko sa kanya kung sasagutin niya ako, aalagan ko siya ng higit pa at wala siyang gagastusing pera niya ni piso. Hanggang ngayon tinutupad ko yung pangakong iyon sa kanya.”)

Do you know why humans are beautiful? Someone inside the bus might actually love you secretly. Perhaps someone you passed by at the mall adores you in secret. Someone at the same line as yours in fast food chains probably has a crush on you. You’ll never know that you are loved.

It’s courageous when you love a person but you choose to let them go just because you realize that you two aren’t meant for each other. Most of us would end up finding someone else that are meant for us instead. It’s peculiar to see somebody who stays in love with that person that goes for years..

YOU SHOULD BE HAPPY WHEN YOU’RE BY YOURSELF

I understand you want someone in your life. I understand you don’t want to feel alone. I don’t either, and neither does anyone walking this planet. But you should be happy when you’re by yourself. Your happiness, focus and hunger for life can’t be depend on somebody else. I understand that, on some level, this is impossible; most of us gain happiness from having a partner. But you can’t allow someone’s absence to define your life.

God Bless Us..

YOU DESERVE TO FEEL GREAT

Say these 7 things to yourself each day to boost your self-esteem and feal great!

1.I AM GOOD LOOKING. Start off your day with positive vibes. Tell yourself you’re beautiful/handsome, because you are! Try to mention at least one thing you like about your appearance.

2.I AM PRODUCTIVE. Think of a few things you can accomplish during the day, whether it is reaching a difficult goal at work, serving a neighbor or spending time with your children. You’ll feel amazing once you accomplish what you set your mind to, no matter how small the task.

3.I LOVE MYSELF. Sometimes people get stuck a rut where they hate everything about themselves: their looks, their personality and their life. Do not get bogged down by these negative thoughts. Look yourself in the mirror, say, “I love myself” and be genuine. There’s no one else exactly like you – embrace the things that make you unique.

4.I AM DOING A GREAT JOB. Spark some motivation in the middle of the day by reminding yourself that you’re doing a great job. Everyone has bad days sometimes, but you can push through it. You’re doing the best you can, and that’s what matters.

5.IT’S OK IF I MAKE MISTAKES. Now you know what to avoid next time. Tell yourself it’s alright and move on. View slip-ups as lessons instead of problems.

6.EVERYTHING IS EASY FOR ME. Remind yourself that you can do even the hard things. Sometimes life gets tough, but there is no task you can’t accomplish. Have confidence in yourself.

7.I AM PROUD OF MYSELF. Because you’re probably bummed out after thinking of what went wrong during your day, tell yourself that you’re proud of what you accomplished. You tried your best, and that’s all you can expect of yourself.

Saying these phrases isn’t going to completely heal depression, anxiety or your self-doubt, but it can give you the boost your self-esteem needs to thrive (not just survive) today and everyday.

YOU DESERVE

You deserve a love that stretches

Over every surface

Like the ocean

Billowing

Breaking

Against the shore

Sliding over the stone

Smoothing pieces into sand

Pulling in and out

In powerful motion

Waves

So strong

You lose

Your footing.

“you are wild and beautiful thing. You must always remember the difference between being loved and tamed.”

WOMEN ARE PEOPLE NOT CHECKLIST

POST:

In this generation, if you’re able to come across a girl who doesn’t like to party, who doesn’t smoke anything, who doesn’t do drugs, who doesn’t need all of the attention, who doesn’t require the materialistic things, who doesn’t entertain every cute guy she comes across, who’s secure about herself, who doesn’t play games with your feelings, who knows how to be loyal to just only one man, who’s trying to get her life together, who’s attempting to do something with her life, who’s only going to school and work before she goes home, who has her priorities figured out, who still believes in a relationship, then that’s kind of girl you want. That’s the kind of girl you want to be with before she gets older. That’s the kind of girl you want to be with before someone else comes along and damages her. That’s the kind of girl you want to be with before she ends up broken in the hands of another man. That’s the kind of the girl you want to be with before she gets fucked over by enough people who forces her to change. That’s the kind of girl you want to invest years with and instill knowledge to. That’s the kind of girl you wanna marry and start a family with one day. That’s the kind of girl you do everything you can to hold on to because girls like that are almost all gone. That’s the kind of girl you don’t wanna fuck up on. So if you have a girl like that, then you’re luckier than most men.

COMMENT:

I cannot express how disappointed I am that this kind of stuff is not immediately seen as degrading, sexist, and disgusting.

If you don’t get why this pisses me off, here’s a bulleted list:

-using terms like “the kind of girl this” or “the kind of girl that” puts down other women and pits women against each other because its promoting the idea that “some women” are better than others.

-Saying “get yourself that kind of girl” assumes that women who fit into these arbitrary standards and expectations are the only women you can love. Like they’re the only women who should be loved.

-In relation to that last point, this kind of post promotes the idea that women’s qualities are only validated if someone is there to love them.

-“before someone else comes along and damages her” and all the other stupid statements like those are sexist and degrading. Women are not dolls or ceramic, they’re people. She’s not “damaged” just because she doesn’t fit your standards.

-“before she ends up broken in the hands of another man.” Why do you assume her being with anyone but you is going to make her suddenly unlovable?! You’re not protecting her, you’re putting her in a box and on a pedestal.

In conclusion, shut up. Stop assuming that woman who doesn’t live in accordance to your rules is automatically lesser than others. Every girl is figuring it out one day at a time, and guess what? So is every person.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE INTENTIONAL

It means working with a purpose. It’s making every action count. It’s about focusing on doing the right things, moment to moment, day to day, and then following through with them in a consistent way.

Successful individuals are intentional. They aren’t scattered or haphazard. They know what they are doing and why they are doing it. For a team to be successful, it needs intentional people who are able to remain focused and productive, people who make every action count.

How intentional are you? As you proceed through your day, do you have a plan and a purpose for everything you do? If your team can’t detect a sense of being intentional in you, they won’t know what to expect from you?

-John C. Maxwell

WHAT ABOUT LOVING HER

In this life, one seeks for immortality. Most stories tell that it is impossible for it to be sought. Some say give it up. Some say seek for it nevertheless.

Immortals envy mortals. They envy because mortals bleed and die for something greater than themselves. Mortals may bleed and die for wealth, success, legacy, freedom, a personal reason, family, innocence. Even loving a woman. They may not find what they seek but what they do in life echoes in eternity.

Mortals could keep the idea of immortality but not be it. For one, having an idea of immortality makes one’s life worth living, be happy, be certain, and being an endless better.

Loving her. What about loving her? Some stories tell that loving a woman portrays immortality with an existing magic in this life. It’s not like wealth, success, legacy, freedom, family or innocence. Loving a woman is different. Most of the time, it hurts so much. It’s one’s choice if one will give it up or be a fool for it.

One begets wisdom, strength, and perseverance better in loving a woman.

Loving her could be one’s tragedy. Loving her could be one’s immortality. Loving her could be a coincidence.

THREE THINGS TO REMEMBER

1.Remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet.

2.Never give up work. Work gives you meaning and purpose, and life is empty without it.

3.If you are lucky enough to find love, remember it is there and don’t ever throw it away.

THREE REASONS WHY WE SHOULD BE LIKE ANGELICA PANGANIBAN

1.Coz she remained strong even if her man left her without a word

“yung pinakamalala yung di ka brineakan tapos ikaw parang ha akala ko tayo? Tapos kung gusto mong kausapin, di mo mahagilap, di mo makausap. So magdedecide ka na? So move on na ako no? break na siguro yun? Mukang may signal naman siya, kasi may mga videos na lumalabas na nasa island sila, sumasayaw sila, mga bangag sila. So sila na siguro, hindi lang ako nainform.”

2.Coz when she’s inlove, she gives her 100% - no If’s and But’s

“yung iniisip mo na, di naman to guwapo ah. Ang tagal mong iniyakan, ang tagal mong pinagsilbihan, dami mong inadjust at kinalimutang tao o paniniwala sa buhay, tapos – talaga? Ikaw pa yung iniwan? Lapad ng noo mo noh.”

3.Coz she is willing to forgive and give closure so both of them can move on

“hinihintay ko na lang yung buong pagpapatawad. Hindi ko lang puwedeng madaliin at saka di mo puwedeng ibigay yung tawad sa taong hindi naman humihingi ng tawad. Pero kasi doon ka gagaan, pag nirelease mo na sa sarili mo yung bigat. Yung kapatawaran, hindi yun para sa ibang tao, para sa sarili ko lang yun. Para matapos na. Gusto ko pag nakita ko yung billboard niya, hindi na ako namamakyu. Gusto ko yung para na lang siyang dumaan.”

THEY AREN’T MEANT TO STAY

He broke you into tiny pieces without even realizing it. And the worst part was that you weren’t sure if you had the right to be sad, to cry over him. Because the truth was – he was never yours.

But getting over a guy who didn’t love you back is the same thing as getting over any kind of broken relationship. You need to accept that some things aren’t meant to work out, because they are not destined to be part of your story. They aren’t meant to stay in your life.

THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO SEE YOU AS A SOUL

You are imperfect, but you are valued. There are people who see you beyond your physical appearance, beyond what you can give, beyond their selfish desires. There are people who see you as a soul rather than a person, as someone worth so much.

THE PERSON WE BECOME

There’s no person in the world who is capable of handling every punch that is thrown at them. We aren’t made that way.

In fact, we’re made to get upset, sad, hurt, stumble and fall. We aren’t supposed to be able to instantly overcome problems.

To live means to face problems, learn, adapt, and solve them over the course of time. This is what ultimately molds us into the person we become.

STAY AND GROW

May tamang panahon para magpaalam at umalis. Minsan talagang resignation ang sagot sa pinagdaraanan mo. Pero mas madalas ang dapat mong gawin ay manatili at lumago sa kinaroroonan mo. Bakit kailangan mong mag-stay diyan sa iyong trabaho sa kabila ng stress, conflict, restlessness at kung anu-ano pang challenges na mayroon ka ngayon? Dahil kahit saan ka man magpunta, kahit saan ka pa mag-trabaho, you will still encounter conflict. You will still experience stress, restlessness and all sorts of challenges. Stay and grow where you are.

Kung ang hanap mo ay stress-free na trabaho, walang ganoon. Kahit pa gustung-gusto mo ng iyong ginagawa at mahal na mahal mo ang trabaho mo, makararanas ka pa rin ng stress. Kailangan ng tension ng strings para mailabas ng violin ang pinakamagandang musika. Kailangan ng tension para mas madevelop at lumakas ang mga ito. Stressful ang panganganak. There is a lot of pain involved pero kay gandang biyaya naman ng isang sanggol matapos itong mailuwal. Bakit di mo dapat takasan o iwan ang trabaho mo kahit mahirap o stressful ito?

1.THERE’S NO SATISFACTION FOR THOSE WHO EASILY GIVE UP. Kung ang tugon mo sa kada mahihirapan ka sa trabaho o negosyo mo ay resignation, hindi mo mararanasan ang feeling of satisfaction at fulfillment na mayroon ang mga nagtitiis at nagpupursige hanggang sa maabot nila ang finish line. Tapusin mo ang iyong sinimulan. Kahit saan ka magpunta, kapag alam mong mayroon kang unfinished business, hindi ka mapapakali. You will always wonder kung ano kaya ang nangyari kung hindi ka umalis at ginawa mo ang dapat mong tiisin. Stay and finish the work at hand.

2.YOU WON’T GET ESTABLISHED IF YOU KEEP ON MOVING. Noong bata pa ako, ang dalas naming magpalipat-lipat ng tirahan dahil sa trabaho at negosyo ng aking mga magulang. And every time we move, naiiwan siyempre ang mga kalaro at kaibigan namin. May mga kakilala pa rin kami sa dati naming subdivision pero hindi na-establish ang malalim na ugnayan sa mga kapitbahay at kalaro sa mga dati naming tinirhan. In the same way, you lose the privilege of growing and establishing good relationships if you keep on moving from one company to another. You have to stay to deepen and strengthen your roots.

3.YOU WON’T KNOW THE ENDING UNLESS YOU STAY. Nauso na sa mga pelikula ngayon yung may ipinapalabas pang teaser pagkatapos ng closing credits. But you won’t know what that is unless you stay and watch till the end. Ganyan din sa iyong trabaho, kung mag-reresign ka dahil bored ka na at feeling mo ay tapos na ang misyon mo diyan sa opisina ninyo, hindi mo malalaman kung paano palalaguin ng Diyos ang negosyo o kumpanyang iyan kung hindi ka mananatili. Isang Protips reader ang nagpost ng kuwento niya sa ating facebook page. Ang sabi ni Joy Capili Sicat, “Kung di ko po ipinagpatuloy ang pinapagawa ng Panginoon sa aming mag-asawa inspite all the hindrances and trials, wala po sana kaming school ngayon na patuloy na pinapalaki at pinagpapala ng Diyos.”

You will miss a lot of good things kung hindi tayo marunong magtiyaga at magpursige. Hindi man ideal ang work situation mo ngayon, kung hindi ka pa naman pinaaalis o pinalilipat ng Diyos sa iba, stay and grow where you are.”

SOON

You will soon reach that point that you are already tired of holding on to someone. You will soon realize that after all these time you are the only one fighting for it to work. You will soon reach that point that you do not chase people anymore. You do not need to be with someone just to feel important.

You will soon reach that point in life that your happiness dwells within you. You will soon reach that point that you will realize that you are just wasting your tears for someone who does not deserve your love.

You will soon reach that point that you will realize that after all these time, you deserve only the best. You will soon reach that point that their presence will no longer affect you. That their name would not give you that sudden spark anymore.

You will soon reach that point that you would prefer to love yourself than be with someone. You will soon reach that point that you will realize that no one deserves to make you feel that you are not enough. Once you reach that point, it will be one of your happiest days ever because you have finally found yourself again.

SOMETHING TO BELIEVE IN

So many people do things they don’t really believe in. Millions of people wake up in the morning, commute to work, and show up at a job they don’t really believe in. They don’t see their future there. They report to a manager they don’t really believe in either. They’re not sure their boss takes the best interests of them and their family to heart. They go to lunch with their coworkers and have some casual conversations. They go home, watch TV and play on the computer while life passes them by. They love their family and their children, but they’re uncertain whether the children will be successful because they’re not successful.

For me personally, I came to a point in my life where I found that I had to make a decision. I went through that routine – the job, the situation with my family – and I told myself, if there’s something I should do right now, I have to find something that I totally believe in and put my life into it. And the reason I am here is because I absolutely believe in what I do.

SIX SIGNS NA IKAW AY MEDYO TUMATANDA NA

1.Nagigising ka na bago pa man tumunog ang alarm clock

2.Habang nakaupo ka sa kama, hindi mo maalala kung tatayo ka na o hihiga pa lang

3.Mas gusto mong makinig ng balita sa radio kaysa makinig ng music

4.Hawak mo na ang door knob pero hindi mo maalala kung bubuksan mo ang pinto (para umalis ng bahay) o kung sasaraduhan mo ba ito (dahil kakarating mo lang)

5.Nakaalis ka na mula sa bahay pero kinakailangan mong bumalik (kahit late ka na) dahil may naiwan ka – madalas cellphone o wallet

6.Nakapag-shower ka na at nakapagbihis panlabas, had your breakfast, nag-kiss ka pa man din sa mrs. mo then start driving your car or mag-commute outside, then bigla mong na-realize, retired ka na nga pala.

SHE IS A WOMAN

Beautiful is a woman who has a distinctive personality; one who can laugh at anything, including themselves, and one who is especially kind and caring to others. She is a woman, who above all else, knows the value of having fun, and not taking life too seriously. She is a woman that you can trust and count on to brighten your day. She is a woman who can inexplicable make you feel really good just by being around her, and yet brings such great sadness when she is gone. She is a woman who I will never really get to know.

PRIORITIZE THINGS THAT ARE IMPORTANT

So many people walk around with a meaningless life. They seem half-asleep, even when they’re busy doing things they think are important. This is because they’re chasing the wrong things. The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning.

PAST IS PAST

I want you to know that the mistakes of the past are behind you, that the heartbreak you have faced is now a distant ache, that the fear you’ve held in your chest has been exhaled with your last breath. You don ‘t have to live your life looking back in the rearview; you don’t have to be guarded and tied down by every pain from the past.

I want you to know that you don’t have to be a shell of the person you once were; you can grow, and open, and believe in goodness again.

PAIN IS INEVITABLE

Pain is inevitable in our relationships, in our work, in our families, in our personal lives, in our choices, in our simplest moments, in our futures.

But that doesn’t mean we give up hope. We just have to shift our perspective. Instead of dreading the eventual turmoil that’s coming around the corner, instead of trying to wish away every drop of sadness in our souls, we must see the other side. We must know that we can and will get through our hardest moments. We must realize that they happen for a reason, sometimes completely unknown to us. We must let go of our desire for perfection and let life happen.

We must see that negative becomes positive, that bad becomes good, that life turns around if we just fight forward and continue on.

ONLY COMMITTED PEOPLE WIN

Be faithful when others refuse to.

Never let an old flame burn you twice.

Don’t lose the lesson even when you lose.

Betrayal happens because we trust.

Never trust people for their words, trust people based on their pattern of behavior.

God is concerned about your commitment and faithfulness.

At the end of our lives, He will ask: “What did you do with My love for you? With My gifts for you?” What delights you will direct you.

Boastfulness is a disguise for insecurities.

Do unto others as if you were the others.

Don’t take your life because you were betrayed by people in business or you failed,

For as long as we breathe, we can succeed.

ON SOME NIGHTS I FEEL LIKE GIVING UP

Everyone is difficult to love, and everyone finds it difficult to love someone else.

It’s hard not to miss all those little things that stir up your blood. It’s hard to love other people for who they are without feeling the itch to change them. It’s hard to understand them on some nights. It is harder to keep loving them anyway.

On some nights, I feel like giving up. On some nights, it feels that maybe the absence of love will solve it all. In those moments, I remember the memories, I remember every time exactly how holding him made me felt. I remember how every single time, somehow, my laugh is truer with him. I remember how he makes me feel about being myself. I remember how every time he flawlessly accepts all my flaws with nothing but love in her eyes.

So maybe it is not easy to love people. Maybe life will be much less messy if we were always detached. But where will we find the magic then? If love is not the point, what’s the point anyway?

NOAH’S ARK

Everything I need to know about life, I learned from Noah’s Ark

1.Don’t miss the boat.

2.Remember that we are all in the same boat.

3.Plan ahead. It wasn’t raining when Noah built the ark.

4.Stay fit. When you’re really old, someone may ask you to do something really big.

5.Don’t listen to the critics; just get on with the job that needs to be done.

6.Build your future on high ground.

7.For safety sake, travel in pairs.

8.Speed isn’t always an advantage. The snails were on board with the cheetahs.

9.When you’re stressed, float a while.

10.Remember, the Ark was built by amateurs; the Titanic by professionals.

11.No matter the storm, when you are with God, there’s always a rainbow waiting.

NEVER UNDERESTIMATE YOUR ABILITIES

You can do all you’re dreaming of. Don’t let those little doubts appear, dismiss them from your mind. You’re so strong and capable, you’re brave and willing, too.

You have so many reasons to succeed. So much in your favor and so much going on you. Don’t minimize your keen abilities or deprive your dreams of great fulfillment. Recognize your strengths. Adopt a positive approach. Assert your powers of positive thinking. Stay in control. Above all, think you can, believe you can, and most certainly you will!

MAYBE IT’S YOUR SEASON

Maybe it’s not your season to be inlove with someone, maybe it’s your season to focus on loving yourself more. Maybe it’s your season to focus on your growth. Maybe it’s your season to start cutting ties with negative people who really don’t deserve to have a place in your life. Maybe it’s your season to be selfish with your love until you meet someone who you can be completely unselfish with. Maybe it’s your season to focus on your own smile and your own happiness. Maybe it’s your season to start that business you always wanted to start. Maybe it’s your season to continue moving on with your life, until you meet someone who can actually be a blessing to you, instead of a curse.

MARRIAGE FOUNDED ON LOVING COMMUNICATION

A strong marriage is founded on loving communication. It is when you give importance to listening to your spouse that you build stronger and lasting partnership.

When you listen, you recognize the importance of her/his thoughts, feelings and sentiments. When you listen, you express your love – because you value what she/he has to say.

Let us constantly build a marriage founded on loving communication.

LOVE

Everyone says love hurts but that’s not true. Loneliness hurts. Rejection hurts. Losing someone hurts. Envy hurts.

Everyone gets these things confused with love. But in reality, love is the only thing in this world that covers up all pain and makes someone feel wonderful again.

Love is the only thing in this world that does not hurt.

ITS GETS EASIER

Its gets easier when the person you’re missing is not even trying to reach out to you to know if you’re okay. It gets easier with every unanswered text and every missed call and every passionate conversation turned cold. It gets easier when they keep choosing everyone else over you.

I WILL NEVER PURSUE YOU

Maybe I’m beginning to like you a lot,

But I will never pursue you.

Around me, I’m tempted by all these pawns

Calling me to use them,

Looking me in the eye, saying

Maybe you and I can

“accidentally” bump into each other in a coffee shop;

Maybe we can schedule “friendly dates” with a bunch of conniving friends;

Maybe I can start “innocent” topics with you over that gleaming chat box,

Ask you things that no one would brand as bad,

I can even send you “wrong sends”

But even this early, I realized that albeit pawns are the most numerous pieces in a game,

At the end of the day, they are but the weakest.

Don’t get me wrong –

I want to be with you.

Just to get to know you more,

I am ready to manipulate so many things –

Things I can hide in my heart’s darkest cellars

Things you would never have to know I did.

And I am so sorry

If so many times

I feel terribly inclined to make things happen in a forced manner

Through the methods I uncannily know;

And always try to get in your way even if most of the time,

It’s way out of mine.

I would never want to know how it is to look at you

Knowing that only my own human hands engineered the story

We so thoughtlessly call ours.

I choose not to get my hands dirty.

I will not move my cards –

Use things, use people just to get to you.

I will be secure even if we do not get to be together

As often as I would want us to.

I will be happy even if we do not get to know each other

As fast as I want us to.

I will not sulk if I do not get my way in trying to make way

For us to finally talk.

I choose to be secure even if such things are way out of my control.

Perhaps my heart will rest more happily

Knowing that I have never orchestrated things

By employing selfish methods;

Never cheated you

By whispering my own words

Through other people’s mouths,

Never betrayed you by telling you at the end of the day

That it is I who made everything possible,

That it is I who worked behind the scenes,

That it is I who controlled and manipulated everything

Just like some pathetic cheater in any easy exam.

If anything, maybe I can write these things about you in secret for now

Then just tell you everything (laughingly) in the future.

Plenty of time to bide, to strive

To try to improve myself.

Became a better woman.

But one thing I’ll never do is pursue you.

I’ll never do the pursuing the making way

The courting, the getting to know

And the trying to be close to you part.

Because it’s not my part.

I’ll stick to the part that I know –

And that is to keep my heart pure. So pure.

That when love finally finds me

I’ll know that what I have is divine.

My part is to trust God,

To fix my eyes on Him,

To acknowledge His sovereignty

In all my life’s areas

I don’t want human hands.

Not mine. Not yours.

I want the only Hands that matter –

HIS.

That as I wait, He’ll by my only delight

My singular motive.

My one true purpose;

For His will and His person to become my life’s utmost concern.

I’ll never pursue you or anyone else.

I’ll pursue the One who loves me best,

And who’s the only authority to deem it best

If ever you are the one

I should have in my life –

Or NOT.

Until then, I may find myself liking you too much,

But I will never pursue you.
